Where did you get your avatar?

[Kyriakos]

My two previous avatars were emblems of the byz empire, so a portrait of the hyperprotopansebastohypertatos ruler was the natural progression.

I used the Mayan glyph for Bird Jaguar for many years and then switched to a primitive analog keyboard.

I'll be honest.

I have always seen your current avatar as a passenger ship. The keys are portholes, the hand is the superstructure, and the corner on the left is the bow.

If I start seeing your avatar as a keyboard, as I've suspected it was for some time, my mental image of the world will collapse and I won't know who you are anymore.

I was doing a Google image search for black cats, and my current avatar is one of the images I found.

I assumed it was a pic of Maddie.

Mine is a self portrait I created using the South Park website.

Well, it's a stylized image of a black cat that looks very much like her, so I decided to use it.

I've seen a photo of you, and you got your South Park image to look quite accurate.

I found it scrolling through imgur and took a liking to it. To me, the facial expression is precisely neutral with maybe the smallest hint of judgment.

The avatar is of course a crop, because the face is all I really wanted out of it for this purpose, and all details would be lost in the full size.

I got mine from a propaganda poster I snapped a picture of at the temple in Sarajevo. This was before the GDI oppressors destroyed it in 2002.

Puschov, from the animated Tintin and the Black Island.

Although technically the screengrab itself was from Teesside Tintin, which I won't link because the language is very, er, British.

I knew, from the minute I first saw it, it was a Tintin character!

We used to have a bunch of Tintin-avvie peeps on CFCOT. I was even one of them, for a bit.

I've considered changing mine to Captain Haddock because he is literally a god towering over all of us mortals

Mine is a recolored still of the great (late) Danielle Darrieux from the 1936 film Un mauvais garçon

It's in keeping with the avatar theme I've been going with for the last however many years of empowered female characters/actresses from early cinema: I had Bette Davis as Jezebel for a bit, and then, iirc. Mildred Davis for awhile afterwards. I might have had Florence Lawrence on here at one point too, but I don't remember.

I'm long due for a change, but I'm unsure of what to go with.

Ida Lupino, or Leni Riefenstahl if you're yugely into inaugurations and the like.

"The Cyberiad: Fables for the Cybernetic Age" is my favourite scifi book.

Lem is awesome. Two of my favorites are The Investigation and The Invincible (which I am re-reading now).

Read Captain Hook and was into that.

<<< She was my step-dad's lab before his death, then mine for the last years of her life. This is a random pic of her that he took by the pond at my childhood home a few years before all that.

I loved doting on her, she absolutely loved truck rides, and she was very well mannered and behaved, best dog I ever had even though he (and then in turn, I) spoiled her rotten. Had to put her down about 3 years ago, much . Seeing her again here, or in the framed picture on top on this computer desk reminds me of the happy times though.

Hm, his feet are tiny...
I like the tintin parody/memes. Eg tintin in britain might be one, but certainly ''''tin in sweden' is infamous

I had a boston terrier who I always thought resembled Yoda. So I pasted her face on yoda's body in ms paint and put the yoda pic next to it for comparison. It didn't crop that well I guess but if you click on it it shows a little wider and looks better. I don't even have that dog any more but have been too lazy to change it to anything else.

Mine is the late, great Bill Hicks. RIP.
